I finally got a chance to edit my video XD. So I started with the weapon first, as it is always my favourite part to make! This time I used spray foam in order to get the shape I wanted. For those who want to have perfect proportions I recommend LOL King Model Viewer. You can close up and turn the model to see every detail!
Here is the video of the steps I have taken so far. If you want quick photo previews of the steps just look below it.
So here is when I drew and cut up the shape:
Here is when I cut different layers of the foam board. I would recommend stacking a few layers so it is strong enough when you put the fast mache on it. Here is the weapon spray foamed. Here is the weapon carved. Carve it as close as possible so that it is easier for you in the end to fast mache.I hope that you guys are excited to see my cosplay. I’m super excited to finish it, even though its far from finished right now -_-. I don’t think I will be able to finish by Pax. I have way too much homework =(. Anyways stay tuned for updates!
Cerule, The Mystic Mermaid, is a bubbly character. She is youthful, kind, and fun. Since her face is very natural, I decided to keep this tutorial simple. Drawing markings on the lash line directly below the irises creates an illusion of very wide eyes. I used three blue eye shadows to reflect her connection to the sea. 14 individual eyelashes are glued to the inner 2/3 of the eyes. The outer third are abstract paper lashes designed by Paperself. These fantasy-like eyelashes were made popular by Effie Trinket in the Hunger Games movie. A pair costs $9 at Sephora. The contouring is exaggerated from the eyebrows to the nasal bridge to prevent the nose from getting lost behind the long, wispy bangs. Aside from that area, I tried to keep the look soft.
Thanks to Nhan Pham for creating Cerule! You can listen to her voice, check out conceptual art, read her lore, and analyze her kit on the League of Legends Wiki:
Many products are boxed in plastic packaging. Create a plastic wing that follows the curve of your eyebrows. I attached a sunset red glitter with clear nail polish. Ana Arthur (http://www.youtube.com/user/anaarthur81) has an excellent tutorial covering this technique. I borrowed hints from Batman and League of Legends to create this look.
Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive is my prefered cosmetic glue. Zyra has fierce eyes. I painted a stripe of gold around the lashes to acknowledge her yellow sclera. The splash art is somewhat sinister. To counterbalance the heavy glittery plastic, I extended the red eye shadow far below the eyelid. A trio of eyelashes intensifies the look. Zyra is a predatory plant, not a woodland fairy! This cosplay demands a dramatic lip. I patted cosmetic glitter over my lips to unify the look. After your photo shoot, be careful to remove any lip makeup before eating or drinking.
Reduce some of the red tones and you will look more like Poison Ivy. You could stipple a hint of leaf green face paint or add some free-flowing vines around the chest.I generally perceive Poison Ivy as a greener character than Zyra. Batman & Robin, Arkham Asylum, and the animated series show different designs for the villainess. Abuse your artistic license to create a special look that suits your taste!
Today I’ll be posting two videos. One will be Part 3, which is paper maching the basic shapes of the armor and the other Part 4 is using Fast Mache after the paper mache. I separated them so that if you already know how to use regular mache you can skip to the next part.
Here is the part 3 video of making Riven armor cosplay. In this video I am using regular mache to strengthen the props before I fast mache. It’s needed to give extra durability, cover the holes and smoothen joints. Create the paper mache paste with flour, water and glue. Cut strips of paper and dunk it into the paste and apply to the prop. Apply 3-4 layers of paper mache and dry between each layer. Keep in mind that the next step (Fast Mache) is what makes the prop heavier. The less holes filled by the fast mache the lighter it will end up being.
Here is part 4 video of making Riven armor cosplay. In this video I’m using the Fast Mache to plaster the prop up. This makes it durable and creates a armor like appearance. It’s really nice to paint on and makes a prop durable. Make sure to apply a layer around .5mm to 1 cm thick. It needs around a full day to dry and make sure it is completely dry before painting. If you want to have more information about the Fast Mache I used please see my previous post about using Activa’s Fast Mache for cosplay props.
Hope nobody was waiting too long for my next video! I’ve been so busy so I wasn’t able to finish my 2nd video early. Here is my Riven Sword Cosplay Video Tutorial: Part 2. This video I’m showing you how I build Riven’s sword with layers of foam board. It is a very similar process to my Riven Armor Cosplay Video Tutorial: Part 1, but making the sword instead of armor pieces.
Alright so here is a template I’ve create for all you Riven Cosplayers. Hopefully it works, it should be to size, if not open in a program and make sure it comes out 20″ wide and around 53″ tall. Let me know if you are having any problems. Just print it out on letter sized paper and then tape all the paper together to form the sword.
Here are the Photo steps of the video, Part 2 (For video scroll below):
As explained in the video the first part of the tutorial is making the basic shape of the sword. You need foam board bought from the dollar store, try to get it as cheap as possible. Feedback, comments and questions are welcomed. Please don’t hesitate to ask for any help or clarification. Here is the video, Hope you enjoy:
Click here for the next video, which is using fast mache on the armor pieces! So stay tuned and if you want to ask any detailed questions please ask below! Please also like our GGG Facebook Page for updates!
Lion Dance Kog’Maw shoots the most brilliant fireworks! This hat is lightweight, inexpensive, and perfect for Independence Day in the United States. Plastic leis, ping pong balls, paper cups, and note cards are the primary materials. How do you celebrate Founding or Independence Day in your country?
Vayne’s retro 50′s glasses inspired me to draw an exaggerated black cat eye with full red lips. I contoured my nose into a thin line and created equally thin, high brow arches to alter my ethnic features. It’s never too late to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Do you use holiday skins out of season?
Have you played Emilia LeBlanc in League of Legends? In terms of visual design, LB is my favorite champion because she is stylish and sophisticated. Her lore is also pretty interesting. The current holder of the title “LeBlanc” is named Evaine. She has rather bushy eyebrows and a somewhat masculine facial structure in the NA splash art. However, an enchanted headdress casts an illusion of eternal beauty. The Prestigious LeBlanc skin is one of my favorites in the game.
Here is today’s riddle:
White presides over Black flowers. Ivory streets falls to Onyx powers. Broken wax reveals a sealed fate; Sadly Du Couteau, there is no escape. Words penned in an ominous hue, Which vibrant color, if not black or blue?

Challenge #2 is now closed!
The answer is RED! If you guess any variation of red, we accepted the answer.
White presides over Black flowers.
LeBlanc presides over the Black Rose
Ivory streets falls to Onyx powers.
The Ivory ward has fallen to those who wear onyx stones (Black Rose Society)
Broken wax reveals a sealed fate;
Breaking a wax seal reveals an unchangeable fate
Sadly Du Couteau, there is no escape.
General Du Couteau cannot escape the letter’s contents
Words penned in an ominous hue, Which vibrant color, if not black or blue?
The words are written in red, according to Cassiopeia’s Judgment. A Black Rose is stamped at the bottom of the letter.
The assassination of General Du Couteau by LeBlanc’s organization is the reason why Cassiopeia joined the League of Legends. This allowed Swain to rise in power. Swain is now the leader of Noxus. Most of these events occurred during Season 1 (when the Journal of Justice was published regularly).
Most of you were on the right track but didn’t know that we were asking for a colour, not a champion! The last two sentences were asking this. We beg you not to get discouraged! No winner has won until it is over! There is still a chance for anyone to win, even if you do not have points at the moment. There are three days left, which means you can still gather max 6 points! We will now release answers and point totals will be revealed on our Facebook page.
I rushed the mask and cloak with the shoulder pieces, and left him to spray paint it XD. I think it turned out pretty well considering we spent minimal time on it and rushed it the last second! If I had more time the quality would definitely be better, and the body would have some armor pieces like the in-game Nocturne model.
Here are the spikes, hardening to be glued on the shoulders:
The head piece is made the same way I did the Shyvana helmet:
Here are the final accessories. The mask has a very thin layer of fabric over, so he could see a bit:
We used white out for the mask since it was last minute and stores were closed XD. Overall I know this isn’t the best cosplay, but I think it pulled off Nocturne pretty well for it being rushed and unfinished!
I made a cross bred champion!!!! Oh no! Shyturne is very OP!
That’s a wrap for Nocturne Cosplay! If we go to another convention, that Nocturne Cosplay will definitely be updated and perfected! Anyone can comment below on our cosplays!
Nearly a year has passed since I last filmed Nidalee. This time, I aimed for a rugged aesthetic that reflects her primal instincts. I did not portray Nidalee as a conventional beauty queen or your typical girl-next-door. The contouring is harsh. Brows are untamed. Something in those eyes suggests that the hunter is not entirely human.
Here is when I cut different layers of the foam board. I would recommend stacking a few layers so it is strong enough when you put the fast mache on it.
Here is the weapon spray foamed.
Here is the weapon carved. Carve it as close as possible so that it is easier for you in the end to fast mache.
I hope that you guys are excited to see my cosplay. I’m super excited to finish it, even though its far from finished right now -_-. I don’t think I will be able to finish by Pax. I have way too much homework =(. Anyways stay tuned for updates!
